Liverpool are in Premier League action once again today as they travel to take on West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

The Baggies may already be down, but Liverpool have plenty to play for after Thursday’s win at Manchester United put them back in top four contention.

With Chelsea and Leicester City not in Premier League action this weekend, this is the chance for Liverpool to set up a dramatic end to the season.

A win today would see Liverpool move just one point behind Chelsea and three behind Leicester with two games to play.

After only just playing on Thursday, Jurgen Klopp could be tempted to make changes today, so here is our predicted Liverpool lineup today…

Barring any late injury or illness issue, Alisson should start in goal for Liverpool as he usually does.

Ozan Kabak isn’t back fit yet, so it looks like Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips will continue in the heart of defence.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson will surely start again today, as Klopp won’t want to rotate either of them in such a crucial game.

Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara look like decent bets to feature in midfield, but Curtis Jones could give Liverpool some additional attacking drive in midfield having replaced Gini Wijnaldum at Manchester United.

It may seem harsh to drop Diogo Jota after he scored at United, but he started twice over the last week, and bringing Sadio Mane back in makes sense.

He would join Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah in attack, forming that famed attacking trio once again.

Wijnaldum and Jota would drop to the bench, where they could join the likes of Adrian, Caoimhin Kelleher, Kostas Tsimikas, Ben Woodburn, Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi.

Predicted Liverpool lineup today: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Williams, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago, Jones; Salah, Mane, Firmino.
